[Verse 1] Nine hundred and eighty-seven Times I knocked on that door Wrapped in my own damage Like it was something you owed me for I learned every word for sorry Took none of them to heart Rehearsed your pain like a monologue With me right at the start [Pre-Chorus] My dad was leaving Barely room to breathe Looked at me through all of it Said son Fix it [Chorus] I thought he meant the marriage I thought he meant the house Fix it like a broken hinge Fix it like there's still a way out But it wasn't the marriage It was never the door Fix it meant the man I was Fix it meant the score Fix it meant me [Verse 2] I sent you a voice memo Six months after he died No ask for forgiveness in it Just the truth laid out inside I said what I had taken What I planned to give back No hand out for a rescue Just the record of the facts You wrote back Thank you Two words That's all I got But they came from a clean place And a clean place Is a lot [Bridge] They say you don't know how strong a woman is Till you're in hot water I've been the kettle Every time I swore I'd done it right Calling myself broken While I ran up the temperature She was steeping in my fire All night [Chorus] I thought he meant the marriage I thought he meant the house Fix it like a broken hinge Fix it like there's still a way out But it wasn't the marriage It was never the door Fix it meant the man I was Fix it meant the score Fix it meant me [Outro] Fix it Fix it Meant me
